The Castle of Caer Oswin is the seat of Bann Loren, a pious Fereldan noble who is little loved for his fickle allegiance.
Background[]
I worry about Loren daily. Ever since the death of his wife and son in Highever at the onset of the Blight, he retreats further and further into reclusion.
Almost no one is permitted to come to Caer Oswin. The last time I managed to see him, it was only because I bullied my way into the castle and insisted his strange new guards take me to him. And I say "strange new guards" for a reason: almost all the Oswin retainers have been sent away. These men didn't wear Bann Loren's colors, and they struck me more as prison wardens than as protectors. Loren himself was pale and almost delirious. I begged him to see a physic, and he promised he would, but I doubt he ever did.
The guards ushered me out in a hurry, and the last time I returned, I was not even allowed past the gate. It's been months since anyone saw Loren at all. I fear the worst has happened, yet I can prove nothing. All I can do is pray the rest of the Bannorn take notice and act before a good man is lost.

Notes[]
- Inside Caer Oswin castle, just beneath a giant portrait of a Templar, you can see a fully upgraded Fereldan Throne.
- In the west balcony above the throne is furniture which is identical to furniture found in various estates in Kirkwall during Dragon Age II.
Trivia[]
- Bann Loren lost his wife and eldest son during the events of the Human Noble Origin in Dragon Age: Origins. They were guests at Castle Cousland on the night that it was attacked by the forces of Arl Rendon Howe.
- It is also on Bann Loren's lands the Warden encounters Elric Maraigne at the beginning of Return to Ostagar.
- Loghain Mac Tir's father's name is Gareth of Oswin. It's possible that this is where he came from.
- There is an Easter Egg in the castle. In the room with Daniel in it, there is a krogan head mounted on the wall.
